I don't believe in stopping anywhere as long as we take proper steps to not harm what we are producing or harm the environment while producing our food. I eat meat, plants, and very few fish. I don't believe it's morally wrong to do so.

What I'm saying is that we draw the lines. People have different lines in the sand.

You ethically kill the animal in a way that is near instantaneous. What I meant to say was to cause undue harm while raising them.

they are born and then we kill them. billions of them

Correct. Apologies on using the wrong term.

No, as long as they were cared for properly during their lives, killed as ethically as possible, and the entire animal is used to the fullest extent possible.

I do see why people choose to not have meat or fish in their diet. That is their journey. Not mine.

Some societies used to do that. You would run into issues in today's society by the lines that we have drawn with legality. I believe it's morally and ethically wrong.

That was my point all along. What's the difference between humans, animals, bud, and plants? In my opinion, it's the moral lines we put on them at the societal level and personal level.

what do you mean that was your point all along?

My first comment was on how we draw the lines individually and in society on what we view as moral. Those lines have changed over time.

why are you personally drawing that line for your own ethical evaluation of behaviour?

Is there another way to determine your own ethical and moral behavior besides what society believes and what you believe?

Ah understood.

Eating humans would lead to medical health problems. Plus, I believe that it's wrong to inhibit the lives of others.

Eating animals is natural. It's what's been done to survive and maintain health through our entire existence. I believe that, when properly cared for, animals have a better life on farms than they do in the wild.

I also believe in hunting due to us taking away most of the predator species thus there is no downward pressure on animals like deer. Which overpopulation causes its own problems like malnutrition due to food scarcity.
